This is an oil painting on panel, showing a family in their home preparing for the son's imminent departure to London by coach. Women are seen packing belongings and food, and the father is handing over a letter of introduction. Through the window in the background the coach can be seen. 
Edward Bird RA (1772-1819) was an English genre painter who spent most of his working life in Bristol, where the Bristol School of artists formed around him. He enjoyed a few years of popularity in London, where he challenged the dominance of Sir David Wilkie in the genre painting field, before moving on to history painting, specialising in battle scenes.
